The tin foil fantasies of today sometimes turn out to be the history lessons of tomorrow. Paranoia becomes foresight when that happens. We might be wise to ease up a little on the tin foil crowd; just in case we need to ask their advice later on.

Having a hard time with this one, he retired z Captain in the Army, that doesn't saw much for his career or his credibility.

Looks like he was enlisted before (he has GCM's). But after thirty years you wonder why the highest award he has is an Army Commendation Medal?
Also, as an infantry officer it seems odd no CIB or EIB. He is or was with the 82nd. I also noticed no star on his airborne wings. Most decent officers (11 and 18) tend to go to jumpmaster school and have at least 30 jumps to get their star.

Looks like he wants his moment of fame. He started his FB page 3/23/13 and has himself listed as a public figure.

Now, some folks might say it does not matter about his service, but the message is still correct. As the younger folks say "whatever". If that is the case then the title of the articl should say "A person warns: DHS preparing for war against American citizens"

not

"Retired Army officer warns: DHS preparing for war against American citizens" which tries to lend some credibility to the souce as if he has some insight regular folks don't.

the big problems with all of this is the people that work at dhs. you got three groups of dhs workers. one group that will not go against the people, no matter what they are told to do. this is the older agents that have been around. then you got the second group that are not worth a damn and everything they do does not work out. this group would not have a job if they worked in the real world. then you got the third group, this bunch will do what they are told. this group is getting larger each year. groups two and three are low information voters.

Frankly, I think there were a number of valid points made in his letter. DHS has become a many-headed Hydra with far-reaching powers and a boss-lady that will follow HER boss's orders without question. That's a scary combo right there. There are enough ex-military just-follow-order types in DHS to worry the heck out of me too. And no, the tin foil is not on.

All of your points are possibilities. But it could also be that the guy obtained only moderate success in the military because he wasn't PC enough to know when to keep his mouth shut. As is the case at this moment in time. That having been said, discrediting the messenger is a risky way of determining the veracity ( or lack thereof ) of the message. Even paranoid schizophrenics hear real voices sometimes.

Nah...I live by Occam's Razor LOL...I knew many folks that went against the grain and butted heads and they seemed to end up getting something higher than an ARCOM after 30 years. I mean seriously, you have to go out of your way to not get something higher. My bet is he was a mediocre soldier, has no real credentiels, started a FB page to promote himself, and likes to garnish attention by being a right wing ultra conservative. You don't have to be PC to get an EIB, and the man was an infantry officer. Guess he could have been a 5 jump chump as far as the airborne wings. But most officers that are in airborne units strive to become jumpmasters (at least when I was in).

As far as :

I could probably find some actual decent ideas that Hitler had also....but I doubt I would be using him as a source for anything LOL.....I am not comparing him to HItler in case someone does not grasp the idea. I think it would mean more if it came from a "decorated" (dang, I hate that too LOL) war hero than someone trying to promote themselves. Come on...on his FB page he put "Public Figure".....

EDIT: I am going to predict this man will be on Infowars in the near future.
